This is part of a longer-term project called "Waiting," a series of images that reveal something about the nature and identity of place. Most of the photographs were made in and around the city of Greensboro, North Carolina, the place where I live. Most of the images are of interiors of small, privately-owned businesses found in aging, commercial strip shopping centers: barbershops, ice cream parlors, laundromats. My hope is that, over time, this exploration will yield a kind of narrative, an edited vision about what remains of Greensboro's regional character. I plan to include environmental portraits as well. A more complete version of this series is available here.
